Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor) and Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) have officially signed on for the leading role in the upcoming Christmas comedy movie titled, Tinsel Town. Production is currently underway in North of England, and at Leeds’ Versa Studios. The film will arrive in Sky Cinema on December 25, 2025.
What is Tinsel Town about?
“The film follows Bradley Mack (Sutherland), a Hollywood action star with a bloated ego who is blindsided when his iconic action franchise is abruptly canceled. With his career in freefall and worried his Hollywood days are behind him, he heads to England, hoping to rebuild his image as a serious actor on the West End,” reads the official synopsis. “But his long-suffering agent has other plans, sending Bradley instead to a small, snow-dusted village to star in the town’s eccentric production of Cinderella. As he fumbles through rehearsals with a colourful cast of oddball locals, Bradley begins to discover a spark of new beginnings in the form of no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Wilson).”
Tinsel Town will be directed by Chris Foggin from a screenplay written by Frazer Flintham, Adam Brown, and Piers Ashworth with additional material by Jake Brunger. The film is executive produced by Julia Stuart, Laura Grange, Piers Tempest and Martin Owen, with Matt Williams and Pascal serving as producers. It is a production by Sky in association with Future Artists Entertainment.
“Continuing our long-standing successful Sky relationship in assembling the best of British talent in front and behind the camera, I am unbelievably excited to deliver this hilarious and heartwarming Christmas Comedy to the screen,.” Future Artists Entertainment Matt Williams said in a statement. “Tinsel Town is sure to join the pantheon of classic Christmas films, and I am thrilled we have gathered such an incredible ensemble of British talent led by the incredible Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson.”
